Omar from "The Wire" speaks to students at Germantown High School

Definitely one of the greatest characters in recent television history. Spoiler alert - If you haven't seen the 5th season yet, don't read this article.

There he was, standing at the podium in front of the large classroom in Germantown High School, with the pronounced scar that zags down his face, telling them like it was.

"Everybody is not going to make it," the man told the students yesterday.

"The question is: Is it going to be you?"

A thought-provoking question coming from the actor who played stick-up artist Omar in the critically acclaimed HBO series "The Wire."
